I've never seen a 300-foot tall rabid chihuahua with teeth bigger than my car that could give birth to about 200 velociraptors. I didn't mind the Roland Emmerich Godzilla, it looked more realistic than a guy in a big rubber suit smashing through a bunch of Hot Wheel cars. People criticized Brodericks role in the film, but what did you want? He was playing a nuclear biologist trying to solve a puzzle, would it have been more realistic if the character was played by Stallone? I do look forward though to what direction the creature will take here.
